Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Sleep needs post-stroke

It's Friday afternoon and I'm running on empty. On Wednesday night I got 8 hours of sleep. Thursday, due to plane flights I got back to East Lansing at 1am.  I had to meet friends at 5am  to go together to the Windsor airport. Since that meant an hour drive I totally skipped sleep on Thursday night. In order to get there by 5am and leaving late at 4:10 am I set the cruise at 88mph. No problems except my friends overslept their alarms and were taking showers when I showed up 5 minutes late. Had numerous cups of heavy duty coffee this morning to get me going for the morning. I'm trying to  stop the caffeine since my flight to Rome leaves at 10:40pm and I'm lucky and got a left window seat. Maybe I'll be able to sleep. Toronto airport has lousy signage and it's a good thing I'm quite mobile since I had to walk all over the airport to find the correct terminal and gate.

    I would LOVE a trip to Rome, but my husband hates traveling with me (bathroom stops, worries about the next step, etc.) We're making due by going to a wedding in south carolina this weekend. That was a hard-fought battle for me.
